Royal Tribute has produced his best form over 6f including when placed in a handicap last week when he had stable companion Lion Ring behind. The latter should turn the tables on these terms but CRAFT IRISH (NAP) won't need to improve much to take this. Beaten less than a length by Boyne River a month ago with the remainder well behind, she only need make normal progress to go one better. Macadam's Rock has had plenty of chances though hasn't been beaten far in any of his recent starts while Nevada Brave ran well for a long way on his belated debut in December,
